What's something you won't tell you're friends and family but will tell a bunch of strangers on the internet?

1 Answer

Answer :

I pretty frequently feel suicidal and have stepped really close to the edge on numerous occasions, I'm constantly depressed and at times I feel like I'm genuinely forgetting who I am or who I once was. Friends pretty much don't care tbh and I've broke off contact with them, which has now left me pretty socially isolated something I'm not used to and my only family members I know that actually care about me is my mum and younger sisters who I'd never tell the real extent of what going on in my head.
